WHY Is IT

That rheumatism and neuralgia are g
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but 1t Is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one Of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form Of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are OF constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved 10 be not only 4 certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. II, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and TO aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be q valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared IS a remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either OF these very COM
mon and distressing diseases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases OF women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and NAV
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials Of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, l12 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is sl.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.

Wheat i'm America.

Concerning the introduction of wheat
into America, reliable information Is
obtainable- 1t may be difncult in the
present day to realize the fact that
wheat WAS at cne time unknown in
America yet prior 10 the discovery of
this continent by Columbus, there was
no cereal in America approaching in
nature to the wheat plant. 1t was not
until 1870 that wheat found its way in
to Mexico, and then only by chance. A
slave OF Cortez found a few grains of
wheat IN a parcel of rice and showed
them to his master, who ordered them
to be planted. The result showed that
wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and to-day one of the finest what
valleys in the world is near The MEXICAN
capital From Mexico the cereal found
is way to Peru. Marie D'Escobar
wife ofDon Diego de Chauyes. carried a
few grains to Lima, which were planted
the entire product being used for seed
for several successive crops. At Ouito
Ecuador, a monk OF the order of ST
Francis, named Fra Jodosi Bixi. intro.
duced new cereal and it is said that
the jar which contained the seed is still
preserved by the monks of Quito.
Wheat was introduced into the present
limits of the United States contempor-
aneously with the settlement of the
country by the English and other Euro
pean settlers.

Sensations at High Altitude.

The effects of the rarity of the atmos-
made, and it was impossible to proceed
more than few yards without stopping
to take breath. The ascent was made in
zigzags, and naturally rest was taken
at the end of each direct line. at the
start, to climb for eight minutes and rest
five was considered making very good
time. It was not long before a rest of
eight minutes was required for every four
of climbing. and after half the ascent
was made we rested more frequently ard
without exerting ourselves TO sit down.
We thrust our slaves into the snow and
leaned our heads upon them. Drowsi-
ness overlook US, and progress became
mechanical. We moved, only as spurred
on by our ever watchful guides. If left
to ourselves we would have fallen asleep
Our hearts beat with fearful rapidity
and the breath became shorter and
shorter. Ringing sensations in the
head like those produced by large doses
of quinine, were experienced. The
most acute pains shot through the skull.
Conversation was suspended, except
among the guides, aud their voices fell
on our ears as if coming from a great
distance. 1t was impossible to tell
what progress was being made, for the
top and bottom seemed equidistant all
the way up. We barely escaped the
most severe experience likely to occur
10 those who reach that high elevation :;
bleeding a. the nose, mouth and ears.
1t would have been the signal that We
had gone too far, that heart and lungs
refused to submit further, and we should
have placed ourselves in the hands of
our guides to be carried back to llama
cas-.
Our physical endurance was stretched
almost to its limit by the time the head
guide shouted, Here we are Smell

smoke which greeted our nostrils, tell
ing that our task was nerly completed
and rest was at hand, acted like a
powerful stimulant. We awoke for a
final effort, pressed oD, and rested not

At the Seal Islands.

AS the females come up wet and drip
ping from the water they are at first
dull, dirty gray color, dark on the back
and upper parts, but in few hours the
transformation made in their appear
aDce by drying IS wonderful. You
would hardly believe that they could be
the same animals, for they fairly glisten
with rich steel and Maltese gray lustre
on the back of the head, the neck and
along down the spine, which blends in
to an almost snow-white over the chest
and on the abdomen. But this beauti-
full coloring in turn is again altered by
exposure to the same weather, for after
a few days it will gradually change, so
that by the lapse of two or three weeks
il is a dull refus-ochre below and a Gin
erons brown and gray mixed above.
This color they retain throughout the
breeding season, up to the time of she'd
ding their coats in August.
These bachelor seals are, am sure
without exception, the most restless
animals in the whole brute creation
which can boast of light organization.
They fIolic and lope about over the
grounds for hours without a moments
cessation, and their sleep after this is
exceedingly short, and it is ever accom-
panied by nervous twiching and uneasy
muscular movements. They seem to be
fairly brimful and overrunniEg with
spontaneity and to be surcharged with
fervid electric life.
Another marked feature observed
among the multItudes of ''holhisdhick
ie'' which have come under my personal
observations and auditory, and one very
characteristic of this class, is that moth
ing like ill-kumor appears in all then
playing together. They never gIowl Oh
bite, or show even the slightest angry
feeling. but are invariably as happy one
| with the other as can be imagined
This is very singular trait. They LOSE
it, however, with astonishing rapidity
when their ambition and strength de-
velop and carry them in due course o.

The Shakers of New Lebanon.

They are queer people to look at. If
they were not pitiful they would seem
ridiculous. The men, as rule, are tall,
thin, bent. They d ress In conventional
garments of dark coloIs, which fit them
like covers on bicycles; not as we'll,
perhaps. The Y wear hats of different
materials, but all have a very broad
brim. The broadness of tie hat seems to
indicate devoutness, as the length or the
ginger Lail in China indicates scholarly
rank. When they go to church the
men march together, two and two.
They bend slightly, fx their eyes ahead
of them, say never q word. 4 smile
seems sin. They pay great attention
to dietetics, but are mostly poor subjects
physically. Any student of religion
from the stand point of social utility
would find them valuable field of in
vestigation, Just as all abnormal cases
throw light on the vexed problems of
any science.
The women appear better. There is
peculiar cheeriness and sweetness
about them unless they are over 80.
when, as rule, they show physical de-
cadence disproportionate to their years.
They dress in deep Shaker bonnets OF
yellow straw and wear gray gowns with
out artificial aids TO symmetry. The
skirts fall away from the waist straight
and simple. An invariable handker.
chief about the neck covers the chest in
prIm simplicity. The dresses vary
slightly in color, but are all in soft
grays and browns. The effect of a small
company of them marching to church is
unique. They look exactly like the lit
tie women that come in toy boxes for
toy villages. AT times they seem like
strange flocks of little human birds with
the Lavender ana white plumage of the
sea gull. The faces of the Young
women are bright and CHEEKY and fresh.
Those OF the elders ale drawn and un-
happy.

Resting After Meals.

A friend of the writer's, who has suf-

entire life, considers the suggestion in
the following extracts from an article
in recent issue of The Journal Of HenttL
to be the most in accord with her own
experience of anything on the subject
lately published
Hurried eating of meals, followed

How Old Sam Came Home.

In the city Of Coldwater, Mich, there
IS large sorl horse known by the name
ot Old Sam. He is the most D popuIa
horse in town. In his younger days he
was used as an omnibus horse, and he
and his mate, laIge bay. were so we'll
trained that they would turn up to the
principal hotel and back the omnibus up
to the sidewalk to !et the passengers out
without being guided at all by the driv-
er. One stormy night the train was
late, and while waiting at the station
for passengers the driver fell asleep.
Old Sam and his companion, after
standing about as long as usual, started
up town on their own account. backed
up at the hotel IN the usual way, and
then went over TO the livery stable where
they were kept. When the war broke
out the citizens of Coldwater equipped
the Loomis Battery with some of the
finest horses that went into the army,
and among them was Old Sam. He
was in great many battles, but came
out unhurt. and at the close of the war
The soldiers bought him of the Govern
ment anj presented him to Gen. Loomis,
who first commanded the battery. On
the return of Old Sam to Co,dwater
some of the people thought they would
give him reception. So they made
ready his old stall, illing the rack with
hay and the manger with oats; then
they met him at the railroad station
and after greeting him with three cheers
turned him loose, and watched to see
what he would do. First he went to
the hotel, where he used to stop for pas.
sengers and looked around a little.
Then he went over to his old home,
walked into his stall, smeIt of the hay
and oats, and gave neigh, as if to ex-
press his satisfaction that everything
was right, and then began eating, as if
ne had been away only few days in
stead of wears.

How TO Adorn a Cheap Clock.

a cheap clock may be made very at
tractive in this way Take two cigar
boxes, cut hole il one, Just the size of
the face of the clock. and tack the box
securely on top of the other box. which
is in horizontal position. Cover them
both with garnet plush or velvet, glued
smoothly to the wood, and fasten the
clock with strong wire insid the up
per box to show only the face as if in a
frame. Screw four brass knobs under
the lower box as feet for it to rest on,
and make little railing around il with
a miniature brass chain upheld by gilt
headed millinery pins The top of the
upper box should be finished in the same
manner. The effect is excellent,
